The element of Air sets the tone of this Full Moon in Gemini. Gemini is the first Air Sign in the Zodiacal wheel, our merry trickster and the messenger of the Gods. The air element in Astrology presides over thought, and the weaving together of thought.

Intellectual study, expression, communication, learning, and social exchange are some of the domains of the Air Signs. Of the Air pantheon, Gemini is known as the archetypal trickster and messenger.

As December approaches it’s midpoint, our sun moves into the house of Capricorn (December 22-Jan 19) and ever closer to the New Year. Many of us will find the change out of the turbulent 2016 as a welcome relief: we’ve been tested, shifted, and thrown every which way. 2016 was a year of 9 in numerology, which is a higher energy. Many of us found ourselves becoming more aware of aspects of our lives that we had either ignored or turned a blind eye to before. A lot of the “darkness” that was under the radar was exposed and has come to the surface of our lives.
